Groups and Links

Here are a few other places on the web to go for information about RSI, tendinosis, and tendinopathy. Most of these resources have many links to more sites; I didn't repeat all of those links here because this site is meant to provide information about the latest research into tendinosis/tendinopathy rather than to be an RSI portal, but these links should help you locate what you need.

Informational Sites:

tendonpain.org on Facebook
If you “like” our page on Facebook you can get our research updates in your feed. We post many more links there so it is the best place to keep up with research news.

TendinopathyRehab.com
Site written by Dr Peter Malliaras, a tendinopathy specialist and Clinical Director of Complete Sports Care in Australia. Excellent information about tendinopathy.

Carpal-Tunnel.net by Dr. Jeremy D P Bland
This is an excellent reference site for information about carpal tunnel syndrome. The site is provided by Dr. Jeremy D P Bland, a UK specialist in carpal tunnel syndrome. There are forums as well as informational pages.

The RSI Page by Paul Marxheusen
This page has a list of RSI books and websites, plus information about various forms of RSI and ergonomics. The RSI Page has a perspective you might find very helpful because it is written by someone who has had RSI. The main focus is on computer-related RSI injuries.

List of RSI Books
This list is the suggested reading from the East Bay Repetitive Strain Injury site. It’s an excellent list of books on RSI, mainly oriented toward computer users. The RSI Page above has a list of books too.

RSI OOS
This site provides resources for people in Australia, but much of the general information applies to people in other locations too. They also offer a newsletter subscription and a book.

rsipain.com
This site is written by someone who has had RSI. He has written a website and a book about what he tried and what helped the most for him.

massagetrack.com
This site is also written by someone who has had RSI. He developed tools to help with self-massage using balls and tracks for the balls to roll on. He sells the equipment and also offers quite a few free videos on the site that demonstrate self-massage techniques. Some videos show massages that you can do without the tools, so the videos are a resource that can be useful even if you don’t have the massage track equipment.

Support Groups:

Sorehand
Sorehand is an online discussion support group for RSI injuries. Most people who join in the discussion have injuries to the fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, and neck, but you can still learn from sorehand even if your injury is to a lower extremity. They also have links to other RSI-related sites and a list of RSI books. The sorehand discussion list generates a lot of email, so you might want to request the "digest" form to get all the messages each day in one email message. You'll need a username and password.
